Well, the only thing about all that is that you have to have the livecd distribution installed on a hard drive, or, guess what, you'll be unpleasantly surprised when those extra programs get installed into virtual directories, held in RAM, and ultimately, bring your system to a crashing halt. I found this out a few days ago, before I had permission to install this GRML onto my friend's computer, the one I am currently using, while I look to buy a new one. I installed a few programs, thinkking that they would be installed on the drive. Wow! Was I totally shocked. You could have knocked me off my bed here when I saw what happened. Those programs stopped my system from working and I had to reboot, losing them all. The best thing you can do there is to use grml2hd to save yourself this problem by installing on the hard drive. Hope this help[s. -- I use grml (http://grml.org/)
